    Hello Mutt installed on linux trying to get it to work with gmail. The following is my muttrc. When I run mutt I get the message no mailbox./var/ mail/zenkde no such file or directory. What do I need to do for this to
    be succesfull?

    set ssl_startls=yes
    set ssl_force_tls=yes

    set from ="blackzen@gmail.com"
    set realname = "M.R.P."
    set imap_user = "blackzen@gmail.com"
    set imap_pass = "Azimuth12345"
    set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
    set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
    set postponed ="+[Gmail]/Drafts"
    set header_cache =~/.mutt/cache/headers
    set message_cachedir =~/.mutt/cache/bodies
    set certificate_file =~/.mutt/certificates
    set smtp_url = "smtp://user@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
    set smtp_pass = "Azimuth12345"
    set move = no
    set imap_keepalive = 900

    Please tell me you didn't just post your actual password. If you did,
    change it now.

    And if that was the actual password, what a terribly weak password it
    was.

    This will probably not work with GMail. You will need to login to your
    Google account and setup an app password or set gmail to use "less
    secure" apps (not recommended). And, obviously, don't post the password
    to usenet. That should get you started. You'll probably need to correct
    the smtp_url to send mail.

    I'm saving this to setup when I have time. This looks like a much better solution than the app password.
